How Trump Is Trying — And Failing — To Get Rich Off His Presidency
In not divesting, Trump set himself up so that his actions, and those of people who engage with his businesses, present perpetual conflicts of interest — or the appearance of them. Meanwhile, if he’d liquidated, paid capital gains tax on his entire fortune and created a blind trust to invest it all in the booming stock market, Trump would be $500 million richer than he is today — without the headaches.
His net worth, by our calculation, has dropped from $4.5 billion in 2015 to $3.1 billion the last two years, knocking the president 138 spots lower on the Forbes 400.

You know exactly what I'm saying, but, since you're a Russian troll, and not an American, your employer requires you to act like an idiot.

I think I know what you're saying, but it's not what you think you're saying*.
As far as what the word "Nazi" means ... You can't just use words however you feel like because:
1) Nobody will be able to understand you. The power of language is that we can have a COMMON understanding of what the words mean. If you get rid of that, you get rid of communication.
2) Sloppy words promote sloppy thinking.
So, what does "Nazi" mean? Does it mean any group with a genocidal program? If it did, then we would have called the Hutus "Nazis" when they slaughtered the Tutsis, or the Khmer Rouge when they slaughtered Cambodians.
So, it doesn't mean any group with genocidal program.
Does it apply only to WHITES who want to genocide non-whites? If that were the case, then we would have called the Founding Fathers (and their successors) "Nazis" when they slaughtered so many Native Americans.
Does it apply to post-WWII events where whites kill non-whites? If that were the case then we would have called Kissinger or Madeline Albright "Nazis".
IMHO, the word "Nazi" applies fairly narrowly to groups which claim more of the "Nazi" heritage than just racism, which includes a system of ECONOMICS and NATIONALISM as well as RACIAL PURITY. There are other words that better-describe the aims and goals of some of these American groups; white-supremacist for those whose aim is primarily racial purity. I don't follow these groups closely; MAYBE some of them have adopted the entire "Nazi" philosophy but of the ones I've heard of they seem mostly about white supremacy.
*What I understand you saying is that you hate certain groups and so you reach for the most-evocative word you can think of ... one that brings to mind cattle-cars, death-camps, gas chambers, and rank-upon-rank of marching soldiers ... to describe them, whether it fits or not.

What the reactionary, authoritarian, illiberal, regressionist, extreme Left has done in the last few years is completely devalued the word Nazi.
People just laugh when they're called a Nazi now, and people laugh at idiots who use the word to describe other people. And now it's not only the people being called Nazis that have learned to laugh it off, but the independents and center left are starting to jump on board as well.
Let him keep misusing the word if he doesn't want to learn. He's already destroyed any meaning it once had. It's going to be a pretty lonely place for him once the independents and center left start actively and vocally distancing themselves from his clan.

A leading Holocaust historian just seriously compared the US to Nazi Germany
“If the US has someone whom historians will look back on as the gravedigger of American democracy, it is Mitch McConnell.”

Browning, a professor emeritus at the University of North Carolina, specializes in the origins and operation of Nazi genocide. His 1992 book Ordinary Men, a close examination of how an otherwise unremarkable German police battalion evolved into an instrument of mass slaughter, is widely seen as one of the defining works on how typical Germans became complicit in Nazi atrocities.
So when Browning makes comparisons between the rise of Hitler and our current historical period, this isn’t some keyboard warrior spouting off. It is one of the most knowledgeable people on Nazism alive using his expertise to sound the alarm as to what he sees as an existential threat to American democracy.

Oh... lol
I guess it's okay for keyboard warriors and social terrorists like you to keep using the word then.
Thanks Vox
